our living room

 here's our living room
so far in the two months of living here:
we have hung curtains
extended our white curtains to the length of the floor
because of ceiling is taller

 spray painted the campaign chest
i painted our end tables white (so glad i did)
and stenciled the pillow covers

things i would like to do still|:
find a gigantic rug or rearrange so it feels less stark
(it is a surprisingly big room)

print updated pictures of our family
maybe spray paint the lamps
and cover the lampshades with some color
i wish:
there wouldn't be a window to the kitchen in here
we could buy an awesome new couch (ha!)
we would paint the walls a really smooth soft gray
 (though it would be a huge job)
but it's a rental
and we're super poor on a tight budget :)
but i firmly believe no matter your circumstance
you should love where you live

the lamp shades would look good that teal color on the pillows. :)

I just had to look at the picture of Noah and Oilve {spotting the cat}, again. And it totally made me crack up, again! xD
Your living room looks great! Lol and what do you mean get a new sofa?! Isn't that one, one you guys had wanted, and ended up getting an awesome deal on?! It still looks great! :D
Could you put a curtain, or some type of shutters, in the little window to the kitchen?

Try creating a cozier seating area by floating the furniture away from the walls. It looks so sparse because of this. A rug won't help if all the furniture is against the wall like they're being arrested!
